56-56 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

56-56 Myrtle Avenue in Ridgewood is a 3-story, 2-unit residential building constructed in 1967 and currently owned by Annemarie Rizzutozaika. The building's recent history shows some concerning health-related incidents, including a rodent-related complaint in October 2024 (the second complaint within a year) which required inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and a food poisoning complaint in May 2019.

The building has maintained a relatively consistent record of rat inspections, with the most recent inspection in September 2024 resulting in a "Passed" status, continuing a pattern of successful rat control efforts since 2011, with only one instance of "Rat Activity" recorded in September 2014. The property has faced some regulatory challenges, including an active violation since November 2019 for failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017, and a notable gas utility referral complaint in August 2022 where inspectors were unable to gain access, marking the issue as requiring a second and final inspection attempt.

Notably, the building has shown zero bedbug activity in all annual reports from 2020 through 2025, with no infested or re-infested units recorded in any of the filing periods. While the building has experienced some health and safety issues, particularly regarding pests and the boiler violation, the management has generally responded promptly to inspections, as evidenced by the majority of successful rodent inspection results.
